FAQs
Plan for floor mounting in a protected area with adequate clearance for a 61.12 inch length and 88.32 inch height. The unit weighs 931 lb, so ensure floor loading capacity and anchoring are addressed. Verify access for maintenance and service entries, and align with IP54 protection against dust and splash in the chosen location.
The unit delivers active harmonic correction at 120 A with 2.8 kW watt losses, reducing total harmonic distortion in three-phase systems. This leads to lower motor heating, improved power factor, and decreased energy consumption, contributing to lower utility bills and extended equipment life in automated production lines.
Designed for integration within Eaton power management ecosystems, the HCU2120D5IP54 is specified for 380–480 V three-phase systems and 50/60 Hz operation, enabling straightforward interfacing with Eaton and compatible drive systems. For non‑Eaton hardware, verify electrical compatibility and protection coordination, and plan for appropriate wiring and integration with existing panels.
The unit carries IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-4, IEEE 519, UL 508C, and CSA C22.2 No. 14 certifications. These indicate adherence to harmonic limits, electrical safety, and performance standards, simplifying regulatory approvals, audits, and customer acceptance in industrial facilities.
By reducing harmonic losses and improving power quality, the HCU2120D5IP54 lowers energy costs and minimizes unexpected downtime, yielding faster payback in automation-heavy plants. Its rugged IP54 enclosure reduces maintenance risk in harsh environments, while the floor-mount design supports easier service access and long-term reliability.
